I can't read d ay german books (epub, mobi) on my A10. The code seems to be misinterpret the Umlauts. Could it be that Coolreader can't read UTF-8. Is there a switch that I can't find to let Cool Reader recognize german?

I'm investigating this problem.
There is some bug in reading PDB format - some parts of data skipped (near bounds of PDB blocks).
When some byte is missing in utf8 flow, text becomes invalid utf-8 sequence, and tries to reinterpret as other encodings.

Tab1 (Font) will not allow changing font style or interline spacing. I have to use Tab2 (CSS) "Default paragraph setting" to make those changes. If I uncheck "Enable document internal style" CoolReader crashes. When I restart CoolReader the "Enable document internal style" will be checked. The check mark defaults are opposite in Honeycomb and Gingerbread.

I am using 55-10 and I'm not sure when it started.

I've been testing out CoolReader as an alternative to several other ereaders for my NookColor under CM7. So far, CoolReader has a lot of features I really like and I see from this thread a number of others are planned.

I use Calibre2opds and Dropbox so I can d/l my books from anywhere to my NC, and I prefer them to be d/l'd directly to /emmc instead of /sdcard. I didn't see this option in CoolReader although I did notice it can open existing books from /emmc. Did I miss it? If this option is not currently available, is it on the future features list?

Thanks.

There seems to be a problem with catalogs. I am having trouble opening some of the "standard" catalogs,such as Feedbooks/Best Sellers etc, that are included. I get the message "Error occured while reading OPDS catalog." Any one else having this issue?
Thanx.

Thanx.

It worked a few months ago.
Let me check it.

Thanks.

Following feature is planned: long tap on folder, in context menu choose "use as default books directory" - this directory will be shown in root list, and books will be downloaded to it. Is it sufficient? I don't like to add separate dir settings for downloads.

If font and interline settings don't work in epubs, it seems like they are set inside document's CSS. "Enable document internal style" uncheck should fix the problem.
Could you provide me sample book witch this problem exist, in order to allow me debug and fix crash? (you can send it to buggins (at) fromru.com).

I have seen a lot of updates lately but I'm not sure what has changed. It would be great if after an update a brief summary of the changes / new features could be shown. Calibre in particular does a great job of providing update summaries.

That will be excellent! Many thanks.

I'm using the latest version (3.0.55-17) and "Enable document internal style" doesn't work anymore. It's checked and when you uncheck it crashes to the main android page. And remains checked when you restart cr3.
